Vertebrates have a backbone like birds,reptiles,humans, and mammals they are just like us humans.they have hair and they have parents who feed them they are also warm blooded.

Immersion Assembly



Immersion Assembly
Today the school got together for an immersion assembly. An immersion assembly is when the whole school goes to the hall on the first of term to discuss our new topic.Mr Burt was dressed up as a nasty mosquito and slithered acrossthe school hall. Mr Jacobson was a mega moth with gigantic wings,as well as hosting the assembly. The new topic is Little Critters.

Surprisingly the teachers had special items they had put together for us. The teachers were all split up into team 1, team 2, team 3, 4 and 5. First up was team 1 and they had an item that represented Incy Wincy Spider as well as little Miss Muffet . It was really good when they
were wiggling and jiggling.

Next up was team 2 they presented a video of the life cycle of butterflies.It was entertaining because although I love butterflies I don’t know anything about them and that clip all the
information I needed. That was my favourite part of the immersion assembly.

The funniest part of the immersion assembly was when Mrs Barks group went up team 3, for NZ's Next Top Little Critter. She was telling us she was a beautiful young ladybird and then Mr Barks shouted out “I love you” and she replied “ I don’t blame you” then we all started laughing.

I love immersion assembly and I can’t wait for the next one.

In the weekend


In the weekend my family and I went to the airport.The scary thing was we were going to the airport to say goodbye to my Nan and Pa because they were going to Samoa. When we got there my mum was really nervous because she and my Pa hadn't talked to each other for a really long time. This was because last time they went to Samoa my Mum and Dad came to the airport too late so we missed them, as they just departed. It was very upsetting.

But this time it was better because as you now know, they hadn't seen each other for a very long time. So this time when they had to depart, my Mum ran up to my Pa and gave him a great big hug and my family started crying.

Christchurch Earthquake


Christchurch Earthquake


On Saturday  morning at the time of 4 a.m. an  earthquake struck Canterbury. Buildings  were badly damaged and there was a lot of flooding happening caused by the movement of the ground.The size of the earthquake was around 7.1 and there was a lot of devastation  throughout the whole of Christchurch. People were really surprised that this earthquake had hit this town because  it was not expected by anyone.

People in Christchurch awoke with broken windows, damaged train tracks, funny looking  fields and a huge  mess left by the earthquake. A church  in Christchurch was not straight as it was  blown  over  by the earthquake. There were houses that were destroyed Parents in Christchurch were a bit tense because that Earthquake could spread a lot of diseases that can cause death to children.

Cross Country

ome a place and be a winner like everyone else but I was feeling tired and weary.
At the end I sprinted and still came a place but I never came first better luck next year I said.

On Wednesday the 25th of August we had our school cross country. While we were waiting for our, race the ten year old girls, we had to cheer with house bannerss that room 19 made to cheer the audience up.
As the race was just about to start we were all feeling nervous and I was also very cold and numb. Before we ran we had to wait for the big clap that went like this BANG!! That's when we had the chance to start. Inside I was feeling really scared and nervous because everyone was cheering and I screaming but then I ran.When I got around the corner I was extremely puffed and I couldn't catch up but I tried to and and I did, and when I did I all of a sudden I spewed.
I couldn't take it anymore so then I told the teacher and she said just walk, you'll eventually come a place and be a winner like everyone else. But I was feeling tired and weary.
At the end I sprinted and still came a place but I never came first. Better luck next year I said.
